WASHINGTON, jane 25.-The weather
bulletin issued to-day by the signal service
TOR the week is:
TEMPERATURE.
During the week ending June %, 1887,
the weather has been slightly cooler than
the average for weeks IN the agricultural
districts east OF the Rocky mountains,
while it has been warmer than usual on
tie Pacific coast. In the states of the
upper Mississippi and Missouri valleys
and the upper lake region the daily aver
age temperature ranged from to- degrees
below the normal, while on the Atlantic
coast, south of New England, and in the
cotton and tobacco regions the temDerA-
ture differed but slightly from normal.
In northern California, Oregon and
Washington Territory the averaged daily
excess Of temperature for the week
ranged randed from to 10. The excess
Of temperature for the season, from jan
usry lst to June 25th, 1887, amounting
to daily average of from to 2 con
tinues over the cotton region, central
Mississippi valley Eand thence west
ward to the Rocky Mountains, while
in al other agricultural districts except
at isolated stations, the average daily
temperature for the week differs less than
l from normal.
RAINFALL,
During the week the rainfall has been
in excess in all the states or the Atlantic
coast and along the immediate east Gulf
coast, and in Western Missouri and East
ern Kansas, the heaviest rainfall occurring
along the Middle Atlantic coast. In the
Mississippi, Ohio and the Missouri val
leyS there was less rain than usual,
the deficiency amounting to about az
inch. In the states of the Mississippi
Valley the large seasonal deficiency OF
rainfall exceeded ten inches. This con-
tinues over the cotton region. A def
cheney exceeding FIVE inches exists in
Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa. In au
other sections the rainfall for the season
differs slightly from normal.
GENERAL REMARKS.
The weather during the week has been
generally favorable for the principal crops
The rains in the South Atlantic states
doubtless improved the condition of t. e
staple crops in that region. More rain
is needed in the cotton region, and the in
dicationS this morning are that rain will
occur in the lower Mississippi and Ohio
valleys by Monday afternoon. The
weather has been favorable for harvest
ing in the wheat region, there having
been an excess of sunshine and very lit
tie rain. IN the corn region the weather
has been generally favorable,
although il some localities more
rain is needed, and the cool
weather of the past week has slightly re-
tsrded the growth of the lcorn crop. In
New England where haying is now in
progress, conditions have been espeCi lily
favorable to the hay crop. All the cr)ps
in this section and in the middle Atlantic
states have been improved by rains, 81
though in the northern portions of Ne@
England and New York there has been
less than usual sunshine attended 5y
cool weather,
